Alex Redmond suspended four games by NFL for PED violation

Bengals’ guard Alex Redmond, who started 15 games last season, is being suspended four games for violating the NFL’s Performance-Enhancing Drug Policy, per @Kat_Terrell and me. Played last season with a torn labrum and hamstring injury, and made bad decision to try to help it.

Cincinnati Bengals right guard Alex Redmond will spend the first four games of the 2019 season on the suspended list.

According to ESPN’s Katherine Terrell and Adam Schefter, Redmond received a four-game ban for a violation of the league’s performance-enhancing drug policy.

Redmond was a starter last year but was entering the summer in a battle for the same spot under new head coach Zac Taylor. The Bengals brought on former Buffalo starter John Miller in free agency, then drafted Michael Jordan out of Ohio State to compete.

Those two, along with Trey Hopkins, figure to be in the mix over the summer.
